Why does water flowing in a river form meanders? How can you make a wine glass sing? Could a speaking tube connect Paris and Marseille? What laws shape droplets and bubbles? And can you enjoy al dente spaghetti or a good coffee atop Mount Everest? These are just a few of the everyday puzzles explored in The Physics of Everyday Life: From Soap Bubbles to Quantum Technologies by Andrei Varlamov.
Each page of this book invites you to marvel at the physical phenomena underlying our daily existence. It does not shy away from the latest breakthroughs in physics, either: readers are introduced to the mysteries of quantum mechanics, the principles of superconductivity, the physical foundations of magnetic resonance imaging, and the emerging world of quantum technologies.
From chapter to chapter, you encounter the countless facets of the physical world. Nobel Prize–winning fundamental results follow descriptions of seemingly minor natural phenomena—yet it is on these small observations that the entire majestic edifice of physics rests. This is a book for anyone curious about the science behind the ordinary and the extraordinary alike.
